The beautiful Saffron Crocus produces large, veined violet flowers, each with fiery orange-red stigmas that provide a lovely contrast with the delicate petals of its blooms. From this amazing little plant comes the highly treasured spice, Saffron! Saffron is the most expensive spice in the world, & comes from the dried stigmas of the flowers
- now you can grow your very own to add sumptuous flavour to mashed potatoes, paella & fish pie! Plant your bulbs in drifts in well drained soil (large pots are ideal) & theyll reward you year after year in late summer & early autumn with a lovely show of flowers. Then dont forget to hand pick your own saffron spice to dry & store for use throughout the year
- a little goes a long way!
